    Large and spacious seafood restaurant overlooking the water that has a vast menu. Eating area is broken down into a main dining room and smaller bar room that also has full service tables (no kids after 2pm). The dining room is homey with a fireplace and a moving model train on a circular track above the tables close to the ceiling. Our server was so accommodating and friendly. Came by often to check on us and tended to nearby tables as attentively. Menu has common seafare (crabs, lobster, fishes) grilled, broiled, fried, chilled. They also have steaks, burgers, sandwiches and pasta (and vegetarian choices). I ordered a special : 2 sautéed softshell crabs with fries and string beans. The crabs were fresh, delicate meat, and had hints of browned butter. The green beans were fresh (not frozen or canned) and cooked perfectly. The beans are normally cooked with bacon but was able to request it without the meat. Fries were crisp and non greasy. My companion had the tidewater rockfish and enjoyed it as well. Portions are generous. Lobby has articles and newspaper clippings on the walls that explain this restaurant's history.

    We frequently stop by Kent Narrows for lunch or dinner when traveling between D.C. and the Maryland shore. It is perfectly located after the massive traffic on the bridge. Fisherman's Crab Deck is one of our favorites but it was completely packed this time. A sign suggested trying its sister restaurant next door. We have never tried Fisherman's Inn Restaurant before; so why not? Fisherman's Inn offers a much calmer atmosphere than the Crab Deck but no outdoor seating. The restaurant has charming decor, including a display of vintage china and an adorable model train running on overhead tracks. We were seated in a booth by the window with a lovely view of Betty's garden. Our server, Michael, was very friendly and attentive. We ordered the steamed shellfish pot, which came in a generous portion. The broth and bread were delicious. The sunset salmon was also a substantial serving, and the corn served with the flounder fillet was very fresh. With excellent service, delicious food, and unique decor, this dining experience was outstanding. Fisherman's Inn is definitely worth the stop!

    Visited Fisherman's Inn with a colleague for my first dinner in Maryland and was not disappointed! Started with a cup of the Oyster Stew and was surprised with the amount of oysters inside! The flavor was amazing and what I had hoped for being in the Chesapeake Bay Area. For an entree I went with the Broiled Seafood plate so I could try as much as I could during one sitting. The crab cakes were so delicious along with the local specialty imperial shrimp. Scallops were good just right and sided with a baked potato. Being a railroad fanatic, I was impressed that there is a model railroad elevated above the dining area that travels around from room to room. Interior is inviting and sure the view is fantastic during the day time. Our waitress was top notch and made our visit enjoyable. She was personable and never let our glasses go empty. Explained the menu well and answered any questions with ease. If back in the area, I will definitely be visiting the Fisherman's Inn again for a great meal.

    This place has been here since 1930 and totally reminds me of the old O'Donnell's in Bethesda. Its your classic seafood restaurant. Their decor with their kick knacks on wall display case, and big roaring fireplace, its so old school. I digged it. You can place your name through their website for online waitlist too. It saved us a lot of time waiting! They have a kids menu, rolls with butter that are complimentary, and a train up towards the ceiling, that my girl liked to see. So bonus on the kids menu! No complaints about the service, but as others mentioned this place isn't cheap! Now time for the food. I had flounder with crab imperial and was piping hot. The oysters on the half shell was good starter (next time i am going to get their cream of crab soup), but the The crab meat was good but the flounder meat kind of disintegrated with the piping hot plate and crab. The crab cake has barely any fillers and my mom and my wife enjoyed it. All entrees come with two sides (really liked their mashed potatoes). Their cookies and cream smith island cake was a letdown :(

    I cannot believe it took me this long to get to Harris Crab House on Kent Island. It is only about…read more38 miles from my home, but on a sunny weekend it still took us an hour and a half to get there with traffic. The moment we walked in and saw the water and the boats going by, it felt like I had flown to Fort Lauderdale, except this little getaway was right here in Maryland. From the start, the service set the tone. Our server, Mariah, was warm, patient, and attentive. This was our first visit and she took the time to explain how the crab pricing worked, answered our questions, and kept checking on us without hovering. As soon as we walked in, someone immediately offered a highchair for the baby, which I really appreciated as a family dining touch. The food and crabs came out quickly, even though it was a busy weekend day. The whole experience just felt like classic Maryland with steamed crabs on brown paper, waterfront views, and that relaxed Eastern Shore energy. The Orange Crush I ordered was perfect, cold and refreshing without being too sweet, and it honestly might be my favorite Orange Crush I have had in the state so far. This is not a fancy, dress up, fine dining spot, and that is exactly the charm. It is casual, lively, right on the water, and a place where you can just sit back, crack crabs, watch the boats, and enjoy being outside the city for a few hours. After we finished eating, I asked Mariah if there was a nearby park for the baby, and she recommended Matapeake. That little detour was the perfect end to the day and really made the whole outing feel like a mini getaway. If I had to change one thing, it would be the chairs. They are hard wooden chairs and after a while you really feel it, especially when you are sitting for a full crab meal, but that is a small comfort issue in what was otherwise a wonderful waterside experience. I would absolutely return and recommend Harris Crab House to anyone looking for classic Maryland crabs and easy waterfront vibes without having to get on a plane.

    Alexa play "So Easy (To Fall in Love)" by Olivia Dean…read more It's so easy to fall in love with anything that's beautiful, peaceful, and just plain good and that's exactly what Kent Narrows is. There's something about the water, the breeze, and the quiet charm of this area that settles your spirit in the best way. A good friend of mine lives on Kent Island, and honestly, the best way to visit Bridges is by boat. Pulling up to a restaurant by water just hits differently. But don't worry you can absolutely drive here too, and the experience is just as lovely. Restaurants by the water are always a plus, but Bridges brings more than a view. It brings that easy, coastal energy that makes you want to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and enjoy where you are. The kind of place where good food, good company, and good scenery all meet at the same table. Bridges Restaurant brings exactly what you hope for when you escape the city for a moment of calm; beauty, peace, and a reminder that life feels better by the water. Service is always great! I literally said this past weekend that this has to become a monthly occurrence! It's too good and too beautiful to just come once a year! Let's get into it! Stuffed Pepper - Amazing!! Thanks to the waitress for hyping these up. Seafood Tacos - Delicious! I would definitely get these again and would try the Mahi Mahi kind or whatever fish they have! So freaking good! Brought Hawaii Maui vibes back. Ancho Rockfish - Fish was excellent, grits were not a fave. Watermelon refresher - YES! These are dangerously good! I'll be back! And soon! Cheers!

We ordered the whole oysters flash fried (special of the day), the shrimp and grits, and the shrimp salad sandwich with island fries (upgraded for 3.50). The oysters were fantastic. Freshly fried and super juicy. We loved them. Our sandwich and shrimp&grits took a while to get to us, but worth the wait. The shrimp in the grits were massive. My husband couldn't finish it all. The shrimp salad was stellar. And the brioche bun went so well. I will say the island fries had a spice we didn't love. The queso dip it came with was good. Didn't love the chili aioli it came with. It was weirdly sweet. I'd probably stick to the regular fries next time. Service is a little slower than were use to, but it definitely fit the vibe of the area. Just low key and relaxing. We would definitely come back!

    BLUF: Feels a bit off the beaten path and has great views and good food at reasonable prices…read more Dock House Restaurant is great! I've visited twice recently and I really enjoyed the scenic views and extensive menu. Both times I have sat outside which was in the shade and comfortable, even on the hottest days of the season. Watching the boat traffic come in go - everything from kayakers to yachters makes for an entertaining meal. Speaking of meals, I've now tried a handful or so items on the menu. Favorites so far are the Flounder Sandwich and potato skins topped with crab dip. The burger was good too. The halibut tacos and crab bruschetta are a pass for me. Service has been great at the Dock House. The servers have to walk fairly far from the kitchen to the dockside tables and they maintain great service. Kudos to them. Speaking of dock, there is space to dock boats parallel to the bulkhead. Several small to mid-size boats were there both times I visited. I looked to see if there was a sign about the depth or rules for docking there and I didn't see anything. What I have observed is there isn't a dock hand and it's not protected so it can get a little bit of chop. A few boaters were just hanging out on their boat listening to the live music so they didn't seem to mind getting jostled when larger traffic comes through the channel. For those with land yachts or a car, there is plenty of parking and it's easy to get here right off of US-50, assuming there isn't "beach traffic." Dock House is located on the back side of the Boatel that is visible from US-50. Dock House is absolutely one of my new favorite restaurants in the Annapolis area. I am looking forward to many return trips to Kent Island to continue working my way through the menu.
